20. A。turned to 意為“轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身來(lái)”。

（二）

1. A。從后面的 where her children and grandchildren came to visit her frequently 來(lái)看，她是獨(dú)自一人住。

2. D。前面說(shuō)她住的房子很寬敞、很舒適，后面說(shuō) she was unhappy，因此可知此處用 However 表示轉(zhuǎn)折。

3. B。從語(yǔ)境來(lái)看，她丈夫已去世，她現(xiàn)在獨(dú)居，故她常?？紤]年老問(wèn)題及自己已去世的丈夫。

4. C。從后面的 She knew old people became set in their ways and didnt like to be told what to do 及下文她成功地讓 Mrs White 高興起來(lái)等來(lái)看，Mrs Green 是個(gè)很有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的大夫。

5. C。前面說(shuō) Mrs Green 很有經(jīng)驗(yàn)，這是有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的具體體現(xiàn)。她決定在說(shuō)點(diǎn)什么前先了解一下 Mrs White，以便對(duì)癥下藥。get to know sb 意為“開(kāi)始認(rèn)識(shí)某人，了解某人”。

6. A。此處談?wù)摰氖?Mrs Green 初次見(jiàn)到 Mrs White 的情景，這是她初次拜訪(fǎng) Mrs White。

7. C。Mrs Green 提出看看 Mrs White 的房子，她高興地答應(yīng)了，由此可推測(cè) Mrs White 對(duì)自己的房子應(yīng)是很驕傲的。第1段中也交代了她的房子很寬敞舒適。

8. D。從語(yǔ)境看，此處寫(xiě)的是 Mrs Green 在 Mrs White 家里參觀(guān)的場(chǎng)景，故用 walk 才符合在家里轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)看看的實(shí)際。

9. D。Mrs Green 提出要在房子里轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)看看時(shí)，事先并不知道 Mrs White 家養(yǎng)了那么多紫羅蘭。當(dāng)她們轉(zhuǎn)悠時(shí)，Mrs Green突然“注意”到了紫羅蘭。

10. D。這是 Mrs White 對(duì) Mrs Green 所提出問(wèn)題的回答，故此處用reply。

11. B。從 I love these flowers and they grow so fast 及下文來(lái)看，Mrs White家的紫羅蘭“越來(lái)越多”。

12. B。從語(yǔ)境可知，這是看完房子后 Mrs Green 給 Mrs White 提出的建議。be over 意為“結(jié)束”。

13. C。這里指 Mrs Green 根據(jù) Mrs White 的具體情況提出一條建議。make a suggestion為固定搭配，意為“提建議”。

14 D 從送鮮花來(lái)看，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有 get married 符合送花的實(shí)際。至于 A（ill）因文中已涉及到了，故此處應(yīng)排除。

15. C。從上文的 I have one suggestion to ___13___ 來(lái)看，此處應(yīng)填advice。在此 advice與suggestion 是同義詞。

16. A。Mrs Green 曾建議 Mrs Green 把紫羅蘭花送給一些朋友。從上下文來(lái)看，自從 Mrs Green拜訪(fǎng)她之后，她有幾個(gè)月的時(shí)間都沒(méi)有贈(zèng)送任何紫羅蘭。give away 意為“捐贈(zèng)，贈(zèng)送”。

17. B。從下文她帶著纏著絲帶的鮮花去參加婚禮及語(yǔ)境來(lái)看，此處說(shuō)的是她被邀請(qǐng)參加鄰居女兒的婚禮。

18. C。前面敘述的是 Mrs White首次帶著鮮花參加一個(gè)鄰居女兒的婚禮，這里說(shuō)的是后來(lái)又有一次她帶著鮮花去看望因病住院的朋友。later意為“以后，后來(lái)”，這是相對(duì)上次她參加婚禮而言的。

19. D。前面說(shuō)有幾個(gè)月她并沒(méi)有按大夫說(shuō)的那樣做，之后列舉了兩次送花的事，由此可推測(cè)她接受大夫送鮮花的建議有個(gè)過(guò)程，是漸漸地進(jìn)行的，故用gradually（漸漸地）。

20. B。幾年來(lái)她堅(jiān)持把鮮花送出，于是就有人稱(chēng)她為 the violet lady，即她以 the violet lady 而出名。Be / become known as… 可看作短語(yǔ)，意為“以……而出名”。
